Wine Profile

Production Notes

Varietal Composition: 100% Estate Pinot Noir

Winemaker Notes

From our estate Gowan Creek Vineyard, this expressive Pinot Noir opens with vivid aromas of pennyroyal, sage, juniper, and a hint of new leather. The palate is bold and full-bodied, with firm tannins and juicy notes of black currant, marionberry, and black plum. Bright acidity and a sanguine edge add lift and depth to the long, focused finish.

Production

After ample winter rains replenished the soils, a cold spring delayed budbreak and set the stage for a long, slow growing season. With cooler temperatures into the summer months, full veraison was delayed until early August. We began harvesting our sparkling grapes on September 8th, with our still wine picks commencing on September 27th and concluding on October 30th. Though one of the coolest vintages in memory, even at lower sugar levels, our 2023 grapes showed exceptional color and concentration. As a result, 2023 looks to be one of the finest Anderson Valley vintages ever, offering wines with beautiful structure, refined tannins and a distinctive elegance.
